About this property

No. 2 Porters Court - offering Sun, Sea & Serenity on Barbados’ West Coast

Number 2 Porters Court, Hibivillea is a charming holiday villa perfect for families or couples, set on Barbados’ highly sought‑after and exclusive West Coast. Ideally located in the parish of St. James, just north of Holetown, the villa sits within walking distance of the prestigious Fairmont Royal Pavilion hotel.

Our family‑owned, traditionally styled Bajan villa is one of only eight homes in Porters Court, a secure, gated private development. For years Hibivillea welcomed guests directly, many returning through word‑of‑mouth recommendations. Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, Hibivillea offers its own private rear terrace with sun deck—an exclusive feature that sets it apart. Guests also enjoy access to a tranquil communal swimming pool, complete with sun loungers and shaded umbrellas for relaxing.

The magnificent white‑sand beaches of the West Coast are just a three‑minute stroll away—perfect for sunset walks and a cocktail by the sea. A wide selection of restaurants, shops, and hotel beach facilities are all within walking distance or a short drive along the scenic coastal road.

Built in the traditional chattel‑house style, Hibivillea features polished hardwood floors, high pickled‑pine ceilings, and coral lighting. The villa is stylish yet family‑friendly, offering everything you need to feel at home: Wi‑Fi, IPTV with UK channels plus Sky and BT Sports, and a selection of books for leisurely reading.

The property includes two spacious, air‑conditioned en‑suite bedrooms, each with twin beds that can be converted into doubles if preferred. Both rooms open directly onto the private rear terrace. The open‑plan lounge (also air conditioned) and dining area flow through double doors onto a beautiful covered patio furnished with a table, chairs, and a hammock—ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing in the shade. When the front and back doors are open, the villa enjoys a wonderfully refreshing cross‑breeze. A fully equipped kitchen includes a washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge‑freezer.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by our housekeeper or property manager (Jeanine), or provided with a secure lockbox code for self‑check‑in. If not present on arrival, Jeanine will visit the following day. Porters Court offers secure electronic gates at the main entrance, and beach access is available through a coded rear gate.

Airport transfers can be arranged on request, with payment made directly to our driver. Grantley Adams International Airport is approximately 45 minutes away. If needed, groceries can be pre‑purchased for your arrival.

A wonderful Caribbean experience awaits you in this tropical paradise, and we are delighted to share our beautiful holiday home with you.

“An Absolute Gem – 2 Porters Court Exceeded Every Expectation!”We’ve just returned from a magical 10-day stay at 2 Porters Court in Barbados. The house itself is a perfect blend of classic Bajan architecture with modern amenities. The open-plan living area flows seamlessly onto a nice covered terrace surrounded by beautiful tropical vegetation. You’re always just steps from that incredible view over the West Coast toward the Caribbean Sea. There are two spacious, air-conditioned bedrooms (all en-suite), each tastefully decorated and with comfortable beds. Location-wise, it’s perfection: tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the prestigious Porters/St James area, yet only a 3-minute minute walk to the beach The gardens are lush and well-maintained, the pool is large and sparkling clean (with plenty of comfortable loungers), and there’s even a little outdoor shower and 10 min drive to Holetown and its restaurants and Limegrove shopping. We felt completely secluded yet never far from anything we neededThe kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need.Sarah has been very helpful providing any info we neededThank you! We’ll be back!

Home from home

Fabulous little villa exactly as described in the listing. A real home from home with everything you could possibly need right down to bags for life for when you go to the supermarket. Perfect location less than ten mins walk to the beach. Far enough from the town to avoid the hustle and bustle but close enough to access restaurants bars and shops. Peaceful location the only sound u’ll hear is the tree frogs n crickets . Great comms from the owner Wouldn’t hesitate to book again

Fabulous stay in great location

We have stayed at Porters Court before and Sarah's villa did not disappoint. A beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bathroom villa with everything you need for a fantastic stay. Lovely terraces front and rear of the property and a gorgeous hammock that was well used. The villa was comfortable, welcoming and a perfect base for exploring this part of the country. The pool around the villas was excellent and there was always room on a sunbed there.

Home away from home

We are semi retired and trying just getting away for a couple of weeks mid winter. We didn’t want hustle and bustle, just relaxing!! This was the perfect place. So close to everything and getting around was so easy using the buses and walking. We would walk the beautiful beach in the morning and cool off in the pool in the afternoon!! Everyone in the Porters court was so friendly and it quickly became a little community. The villa was as seen in the pictures. We spent a lot of time on the front porch or the hammock. The back deck was quiet and a great place to read a book. We would highly recommend this villa for a relaxing holiday

We were delighted with everything about this spacious bright and tranquil villa. It was over the road to the beach and yet very private and peaceful. We did not drive but the bus stop was just before getting to the beach so frequent buses were handy to get to the grocery store in Holetown and to venture further in either direction. A couple of small questions we had were answered immediately by the property manager. We enjoyed our stay very much.

A beautiful escape with space to relax

The home is beautiful with lots of space. The kitchen is fully equiped, but bring your own tupperware and dried goods. The pool is incredible and the property shared with the other 8 cottages is immaculate. The property is gated and very safe. The beach is a 3 minute walk and stunning. A car is not necessary because the island buses are frequent and inexpensive; we rented a car for ease with travelling further to explore other parts of the island. Would recommend this cottage or other ones in the complex!

Wonderful winter holiday

This villa was perfect for our needs. It was completely equipped and comfortable for our extended stay. We ate all our meals on the porch and enjoyed the view of the bougainvillea and the smell of the orchid tree. We spent most of our days at the beach, but would enjoy the oasis of calm when arriving back to the villa. We walked to Lonestar and Jumas for supper, but there are also restaurants on the beach for lighter fare. We took the ten minute bus ride into Holetown to Massy grocery store, and then grabbed a taxi for the return trip. Sarah was a delight to deal with and Sheila with her twice weekly visits, kept the villa in tip top shape. We look forward to our return to paradise.

Lovely villa in perfect location

The villa was perfect for a relaxing getaway for our family of four. Well appointed, comfortable and in a very calm and relaxing location - we spent many hours on the porch and in the hammock enjoying the weather and watching the hummingbirds, the tropical birds, chickens and even green monkeys that would stop by to say hello. The kitchen is well appointed - we were there over Xmas and cooked dinner in many nights and had everything we needed. The beach is literally a 5 minute walk away - there is a little back walkway that leads directly to the front of the Fairmont hotel and the local bus to holetown. The beach is amazing beach and you can rent beach loungers and umbrellas for the day (go to the end of the fairmont hotel in the direction away from Holetown and look for the Blue umbrellas and loungers which are for rent for th eday). The neighborhood is very safe and we walked to the local bakery and minimart almost daily and we took the local bus to Holetown too (a 10 min ride and bargain at $3.50). Sarah was a great host and even kindly arranged our taxis. Lovely place and we will be back again soon.

We have Rented this quaint Villa Several Times

We have rented this quaint villa several times and always feel really at home there. It’s location is absolutely perfect ! A minute walk to a bus stop and only a five minute walk to Alleynes Bay beach. On this gorgeous beach you can find several beach bars including jujus and the wonderful Lone Star Restaurant. There are sunbeds to hire and water sports facilities, including waterskiing and inflatable rides. As for the development of Porters Court, it’s very peaceful with beautiful tropical gardens. There are just 8 cottages with a lovely, good sized communal pool. Number 2 is one of the larger properties and the only one with a large decked area to the rear of the property which can be accessed by both back doors. Both bedrooms are of a good size and both are en-suite. There’s plenty of bedding and bath and beach towels. The kitchen is large and has all the equipment that is needed, including a dishwasher and cool boxes to take your beers down to the beach. The house has both ceiling fans and AC. The lounge in airy and light with excellent WiFi and sky TV. Our favourite part of the property is the wrap around veranda with table and chairs to eat at and hammock to laze on. The property owner and manager and both great to deal with and reply to questions quickly. To sum up a lovely relaxing property in a beautiful lush location close to all amenities of near by Holetown. We look forward to visiting again on the 20th Dec this year for Xmas. Louise and Family

Great stay at No 2

I have stayed at other properties in Porters Court before so knew that the location of Sarahs property would be perfect. We had a few little niggles when we arrived, but easy communication with both Sarah and Jeannine, the property manager, got things sorted and it did not spoil our enjoyment of staying there. A booklet giving details of places to eat, transport, emergency services, location of doctors etc would be useful for first time visitors, but as someone who knows the island this didnt affect us. The villa is super comfortable and tucked away in the corner, so peaceful. Thank you Sarah and Jeannine.

Perfect Villa Location near the Beach

Myself and my partner have just returned from a wonderful holiday where we stayed at No 2 Porters Court. It was just the holiday we needed. Our friends Louise, and her family have stayed at this villa many times and they recommended it to us. We loved this villa for its excellent location to the beach and also it is the only villa within the 8 on the complex that has a private back decking area perfect for privacy. Sarah the owner was available through correspondence during our stay and even checked we had landed safely in the UK on the morning of our return, to less than blue skies! We cannot wait to return and would fully recommend all that No 2 Porters Court encompasses, it was perfect for us. We will back soon. Phil Paget

Brilliant Location

My wife and myself thoroughly enjoyed our winter escape. Traditionally we have stayed in a hotel but we decided on a villa holiday this year and we both agree we would no longer return to hotel /room living again. The villa was a perfect location for ourselves, a mere few minutes walk to the beach and near the Fairmont Royal Pavilion Hotel and Beach club. We had several lunches at the beach club and then walked along the beach often ending up for a late afternoon drink on the decking of the lone star. What we loved about this villa was it is in such close easy proximity to Holetown and the large supermarket aswell as being near such an array of restaurants. The villa was clean, and the maid comes once a week. It felt very secure having a code gated entrance and also codes to access the back of the complex. My wife enjoyed watching the birds in the garden, especially the humming birds, the gardens are beautifully maintained. The pool area is very relaxed and the clientele that were in the other villas were professionals and we made some good friends for life. Sarah arranged for us to have some shopping delivered on our arrival and also arranged a taxi pick up and we paid for this locally. The property manager Jeanine was also on hand if we needed anything during our stay. Alot of breeze comes through the villa as you can open doors at the front and the back of the villa so it is pleasant, we did not find it necessary to use Air conditioning. We would fully recommend this villa to our friends and family - although we do not want too many people knowing our find ! Rob and Louise
